Description



About the Book



Elemental is an initiative creating innovative solutions for subsidized housing. The programs urban projects aim to improve social housing for poverty stricken families. Elemental organized an international architecture competition which resulted in 7 constructed projects throughout Chile as hybrids between house and building, pushing the limits of expansion and density. Built in central areas, these houses are half-constructed, offering the inhabitants the infrastructure to extend the house to personal needs. This book is afascinating study of the successes and failures of the 'Element Houses.'ELEMENTAL is a Do Tank affiliated with the Pontificia Universidad Catlica de Chile and COPEC, implementing urban projects for social interest and public impact.



Book Synopsis



Led by Pritzker Prize-winning artistic director Alejandro Aravena (born 1967), the Elemental studio, based in Santiago, Chile, possesses a diversely skilled staff whose analytical approach has produced highly original solutions to social challenges such as the housing shortage in Santiago's poorer neighborhoods. Instead of designing cheap housing, Elemental builds "half houses" at the same cost and enables buyers to build the other half themselves. This combination of good design with the engagement of the buyers creates more sustainable housing areas. The studio works on both large and small scales in Chile and in the rest of the world; all projects bear the marks of their pragmatic approach. Alejandro Aravena: Elemental portrays the company's working methods and provides examples of its most important projects.
